Summary
Entirely faithful to Boethius’ Latin; Relihan’s translation makes the philosophy of the Consolation intelligible to readers; it gives equal weight to the poetry–in fact, Relihan’s metrical translation of Boethius’ metro are themselves contributions of the first moment to Boethian studies. Boethius finally has a translator equal to his prodigious talents and his manifold vision. –Joseph Pucci, Brown University

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A strongly literary approach that other translations have tended to obscure or ignore…” – Practical Philosophy, Spring 2002. “Entirely faithful to Boethius’ Latin; it makes the philosophy of the Consolation intelligible to students; it gives equal weight to the poetry – in fact, Relihan’s metrical translation of Boethius’ metra are themselves contributions of the first moment to Boethian studies. Boethius finally has a translator equal to his prodigious talents and his manifold vision.”– Joseph Pucci, Brown University.
